I just got a car (gene kan's) without powersteering and i'm in the process of locating parts to add it back (if anyone has their powersteering stuff they want to sell, pm me!). On my car it's REALLY hard to turn the wheel when backing out or u-turning and pretty hard to turn the wheel while moving. It's so hard at stop, that I worry about things bending (including my wrists). I'd say it's like 100+ ft lbs., lug nuts torqued to 90lbs are way easier to deal with. I think my wrists would have a tough time through lot's of esses or winding road. Thats with 255 tires in front. The car has been sitting for many years and I just thought about checking the tire pressure (so that might be contributing). So i'm wondering if this rack will make the car significantly easier to turn than a depowered stock rack? ie. close to what a stock non-power steering car would feel like.
